Stalker broke into Madonna's home to 'wait for her in pool'

An obsessed fan has admitted burgling Madonna's £10 million London home and rifling through her bedding.

Grzegorz Matlok, 30, struck in the capital a year after breaking into the house in Wiltshire the singer once shared with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, where he tried on clothes belonging to the film director, Southwark crown court heard.

He was deported home to Poland for mental health treatment but flew back in March this year with a map showing the location of the singer's Marylebone townhouse.

He climbed up to a balcony in the early hours using a rope and smashed his way in. But he only took a can of Red Bull energy drink worth £2.40. Mother-of-four Madonna, 53, was in the US at the time.

When caught, Matlok told mental health staff he and Madonna had exchanged "special messages", and if he was released he would go back to her home to wait for her "in the pool".

He had been due to face trial but pleaded guilty and was remanded in custody for psychiatric reports. He is due to be sentenced next month.
